i joined a month or so ago, but didn't really start using it until this last weekend. and my oh my, is it fun. and helpful. and a bit addicting.

the idea is that you create inspiration boards full of photos. think magazine tear sheets meet internet awesomeness. you can group these photos any way you want - crafts, decor, fashion, art, etc. pinterest helps you keep track of the pretties you see on-line, while also giving you an idea of your current tastes. it is neat to step back and see what is trending on your boards.
